Jesus dear God no

I saw this in France a few months back, but haven't talked about it much. I guess I was just hoping that it didn't exist. But it does.

I used to love Asterix, but Albert Uderzo has now officially jumped the shark. This latest one has aliens in it. Need I say more? I was gutted when it happened in the Dukes of Hazzard, and I'm just as gutted now.

Albert, if by some dint of fortune you happen to be reading this, give up now. Concentrate on restoring the rest. You peaked at Asterix and Son and without exception, it's been an uninterrupted downward trajectory since. Stop making it worse, for the love of mercy.
